Matchmaking Service - Portal Connects Homeowners and Contractors

On-line resource connecting homeowners to contractors and service professionals for home and business improvement needs.

Mississauga, Ontario (PRWEB) April 18, 2006 -- HandyCanadian.com of Mississauga, Ont., is an on-line resource connecting homeowners to contractors and service professionals for home and business improvement needs. Consumers can post their project needs and receive bids from skilled contractors and service professionals in interior or exterior repair, maintenance, remodeling, renovation and utility services. HandyCanadian provides consumers the convenience and confidence to take control and select the right contractor to fit their needs and budget.

Consumers can register free and post their project using simple tools to receive bids from local Contractors and Service Professionals competing for their business.

"What a great site! I can't believe how easy it was to use HandyCanadian" said homeowner Bill Russel of Toronto, Ont. "I posted a job on Thursday, had eight replies by Saturday morning and will be accepting one of them early next week. I will be sure to refer your service to family and friends."

HandyCanadian is also an efficient tool for contractors to generate valuable project leads from homeowners, homebuilders, business owners, real estate agents and other contractors. Using database technology, HandyCanadian sends an e-mail notification to contractors according to specific project data and location. The well-designed and functional website allows contractors to correspond with consumers and other contractors and subtrades. Custom searches allow you to narrow your findings to particular types of work and geographical locations.

"I listed my company with HandyCanadian last year. I had listed with a few other sites but for the cost I just didn't see the benefit. Your site has by far the best layout, and is the best source of leads that we have." said Bryan, Baeumler of Quality Construction and Renovations Inc. "Since we listed with HandyCanadian, we've signed contracts on over $400,000 worth of work in only 4 months - that's a pretty good return on our advertising dollars, and is unsurpassed by any other advertising that we've done so far. In fact, as we've built such a network of referrals from the business we've received via your site, we no longer advertise anywhere else!"

"HandyCanadian has received 480 job postings since January 1, 2006 with estimated budgets totalling over 15 million dollars. As of March 2006 we received an estimated 46 job postings per week or 184 job postings per month. There has been a steady 20% increase per month in job postings and we estimate by November 2006 we will receive over 500 job postings per month." said Max Sheppard, co-founder of HandyCanadian. "HandyCanadian is the better way to connect homeowners with quality, reputable service professionals quickly and easily."
